Does anyone have a site to go to that i can learn about paganism, or can some one just tell me a few things?

Answer 1

I saw that someone gave you some good links for Wicca. There are also Reconstructionist (neo-pagan) faiths. At the end of the article, there are links for Germanic, Egyptian, Roman, Greek, and Celtic Reconstructionists to learn about them individually.
http://www.thetroth.org/memsvc/stewards/...

This is a newer link for Celtic Reconstructionism than the one that they give:
http://paganachd.com/faq/index.html...

Reconstructionists are (in general), polytheists and their practices are culture-specific.

There is also modern Druidry. This is a link for a good article on Druidry. It is set up in a Q&A style. You can google "Druidry" for more information.

Answer 2

Wicca is an Earth-based religion that worships the forgotten Gods and Goddesses and the Elements Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. Wicca is not evil in any way! We believe in the three-fold law which is to harm none and what you give comes back on you three times good or bad. Our spells are like Christian prayers only using nature as our guide. We have nothing to do with Satanism, and frankly I just can't understand the religion myself. I will give you a couple of sites for more info on Wicca and also probably Satanism for the first site. Hope this helped you and Blessed Be!!!!

Answer 3

I'm sorry, but if you find the words "Satanism" and "Paganism" synonymous, you are deeply incorrect. Neither of those religions have to do with Satan (Satanists don't believe in Satan contrary to popular belief, neither do Pagans). If you want to learn about Wicca/Paganism and what they're REALLY about, which I have a feeling you don't know much about them, see the sources I listed.

Answer 4

Don't limit yourself to any religion. Read as many as you can, and learn as much as you can. Then make a choice. Why are you interested in Satanism, Wicca/Paganism? Real Satanism is just Humanism. Wicca and Paganism (which really sort of go hand in hand) are both good choices and there are books available everywhere. Good luck.

Answer 5

There is a simple way to learn information on any path, it can be found in numerous books. Yes, there are websites, but the amount of time you spend searching can be idle time. I personally feel you gain more from books. Barnes & Nobles have always been a good resource for me as far as pagan literature goes. You can also try http://www.llewellyn.com or for a good online source try http://www.witchvox.com There is no right or wrong way to follow what you believe. The hardest part will be discovering what it is you actually do believe. Good luck and Blessed Be! Sdw

Answer 7

Read anything and everything you can. Your local library should have a few books to get started on. Paganism is a very large umbrella term for a large number of different faiths.
Here is a good site to start with. http://www.witchvox.com
Also if you have specific questions, I am available for answers.
Be wary of anyone claiming the "one" right way. There are as many variations as there are people.

Answer 8

http://www.witchvox.com/_x.html?c=trads, this will explain about the different pagan religions. After this read, read, read.

There are different denominations of satanism, different denominations of wicca, just like christianity. Know what you are getting into before you actually do it.

Answer 9

Look for something that will reduce your ego and teach you to love and not judge others. If you feel a special identity by going with a particular religion (either because it's cool, shocking to others, 'different', etc.) then see if you can ultimately get past it. The whole value in any religion is not that it becomes a tool for people's identity (which is how 99.99% of us use religion) but that it becomes a tool for reducing the self-centeredness in each of us.

Answer 10

Be aware that pagans and Wiccans consider "Satan" a creation of Christianity, and have no belief in such a creature.

There are an IMMENSE number of pagan and Wiccan reference sites. Go Google.

But do be wary of fundamentalists. Oh sure, they SAY The Inquisition is over, but really...you'd be surprised at how quickly they'll light the first match.
